Cosmia — Joanna Newsom
Chords and lyrics for Cosmia by Joanna Newsom (key of C).
Verse 1
Finaly, here is Cosmia by the Great Joanna Newsome. This is my
favorite song by her and I waited forever for it lol. So I decided to make
it
myself. These Are the chords (I would Suddgest using mostly bars), and I am
working on
tab, but it is extremely!
hard on guitar. When I finish, I will post that too. For now, Enjoi! ( By
the way, if I
an x where the chord should be, it means play nothing)
